you mean the FAKE grass, designed for just what you are seeing?

Absolutely not. It's not real grass. They can vacuum it/wash it as necessary. A place to sit around and just enjoy downtime is something that's seriously missing from a lot of US theme parks. Giving the hub an actual "park" may be my favorite add-on to WDW in the last 10 years.
Selfishly, it gives me one more place to stuff a bbq slaw dog down my throat when the outdoor tables are full

I assumed it was similar to the fast pass area @ Epcot used for Illuminations, where all day anyone can be there and they only police it for the first so many minutes prior to the fireworks.

The FP+ section actually is landlocked. There is no additional entrances or exits into the hub from it. It's essentially a corner. Also - this is only about 1/4th of the opened area. @PhotoDave219 - take a walk in it, it's actually pretty small so I don't really see it as a huge disruption to the grand scheme of firework viewing.

People sit and eat everywhere else in the park, don't know why the grass would be different.

Well they did wait there hours before to get that spot and no bladder or lack of fastpass will stand in their way!

But it's the hub in front of the castle.

People didn't sit and eat around the hub before?

I once saw a grown man eating a funnel cake, turkey leg, box of popcorn, and ice cream sandwich (in one sitting) in front of the castle stage while watching Dream Along with Mickey alone. These gardens are an improvement.

Actually, no, I don't. It looks like a park now. Plus, the Brazilian tour groups can meet here instead of the center of the hub.

That's awesome they are allowing a taped off section also for viewing. This will help ease such a burden for the high demand for this viewing.

[Chris Traeger (from Parks and Rec) voice] That is LITERALLY the most beautiful thing I have seen IN MY LIFE.

I interpreted the leaked drawings incorrectly because I swear I saw gates all around the FP+ viewing areas which led me to believe they would be locked off during the day. Maybe the gates are still to go in, but they may leave them open until a set time before shows.
I still find it curious that they opened this area to full foot traffic when it's clear there are railings (besides the ones I'm talking about) and other details to still finish.
